So I thought I was getting pretty good at this home brewing deal. Dialed in the Anvil Foundry, moved to BIAB, brew days are a breeze now.
Woke up this morning and decided to check the keezer for some reason, and... well, the keg of Kolsch that I just transferred a few days ago was floating. Thats weird... why would a keg be floating in my keezer? You mean to tell me the beer that I worked pretty hard on is now being used as a virtual beer bathtub? Great.
So, I guess this is the point in time to "relax and have a homebrew" which I did after brewing the Kolsch again.
As to why this happened? Hopefully you guys can help out with this and see if I'm right.. I'm assuming it was a failed o-ring on the dip tube..I uploaded a video and hope it plays, but there is noticeable pressure being released at the bottom of the liquid post. The kegs are about 1 - 1.5 years old, the o-rings honestly look ok...I'm going to swap them out, use some keg lube on them and monitor.. But any other suggestions would be great. Didn't expect my Saturday to end up like this.
